Top Critics Reviews

One of the nice things about Jessabelle is that it isn't trying too hard.

How are VHS tapes, voodoo and the specter lurking in a house connected? Your impatience for answers is likely to eclipse your trepidation.

fresh:
Credit lead Sarah Snook's gentle, sympathetic performance for holding together this atmospheric film, especially during its silly-campy third act.

rotten:
An ineffective, derivative, and awkwardly executed mash-up of ghost flicks and voodoo movies.

rotten:
As the film racks up incidents and characters and explanations, the mystery dissipates. It's a strange spectacle: a horror film that spends as much time dismantling suspense as it does building it.
